Point? You said it was the first mainstream successful fps on a console and it wasn't. Also just because a game isn't still popular doesn't make it any less impactful. Also who still plays the FIRST Halo?

Actully quite alot, it seems to have been big enough to get its own remake for the 10yr anneversary. And it was the first mega-success. And yes i understand popularity=\=impact.

Ok. So whos playing the first Super Smash Brothers at the moment? its a very good game still and made a huge impact on 4 player action games.
Same for Mario Party which made a huge success based around their own creative board game
And what about Mortal Kombat 1? That literally created the ESRB rating system due to Sub-Zero's spine ripper..
Point in short.. A game not being played at the moment does not prove that it did not make a huge impact in the history of video games
And idc about Halo anymore...
Halo 3 was supposed to Finish the fight... In other words, the conclusion.. Halo Reach was a prequel to the whole Halo franchise and they said that the franchise is finished..
Until 343 industries took the franchise, informing us that Finishing the fight was a false accusation to the franchise (which its not!): And then confirming a whole new trilogy to the franchise...
I don't know how is the story going to continue after Halo 3... I seriously don't..
Microsoft knows how much money Halo makes when it comes to the multiplayer... So they won't stop screwing up the Halo franchise.. Only to constantly push online multiplayer in your face so that you can go buy more Xbox live gold cards.. When all the Halo games are best played Locally with your friends...
Like GoldenEye... Which made a huge impact on FPS local multiplayer and the FPS genre itself... Nothing holds a crown over GoldenEye when it comes to local multiplayer... Its damn fun!

I despise local multiplayer because somebody always rages and kicks the console because they are sucking. And halo 3 did finish the fight with the covenant did it not? I think it did, and come on you serriously didnt want to know the story of chief after the legendary H3 ending? And i dont see how they have "screwed up" the franchise. They certaintly arent raming us up the ass with it like activision tries to do with COD.
